Did you know that the properties in breast milk to heal and protect, not only babies but, adults? No? Well I’m here to inform. Let me count the ways:
1.) Cancer patients consume breast milk in order to boost their immunity. But you don’t have to be ill to reap the benefits of consuming breast milk. Anyone who drinks breast milk can experience the positive outcomes of doing so. You don’t have to drink it straight either. Mixing breast milk with another beverage works just the same.
2.) Breastmilk can also be used to treat pink eye, plugged/infected tear ducts and sties. How do you apply it? Express some milk and use a (clean) syringe or dropper. It can also be used to clean contacts.
3.) Breastmilk can be used to treat and relieve the symptoms of skin conditions such as eczema, hives, acne, cracked/chapped skin, and chicken pox. All you have to do is rinse with water, dry and apply the breast milk to the skin. Then allow for the milk to air dry.
4.) Did you run out of face wash? Do not fear! Breastmilk is an exceptional alternative.
5.) Don’t you hate when you get those horrible canker sores? Or what about sore throats? Don’t go running to the cupboard for salt to add to your water. No. Gargle and rinse with breast milk. Not only does it work to relieve and heal. Its not nearly as bad tasting.
6.) Oh no! Now baby has a stuffed nose. Poor thing can barely breathe. Its okay. Because breast milk can take care of that problem. Use a dropper and put a few drops of breast milk in the nose as you would saline drops. It works just as well.
7.) Well you just unclogged baby’s nose and lo and behold. She now has an ear infection. Save the rush to the drug store in the middle of the night. Use breast milk to use the pain.
Now I know that some may think, “Is that even safe? What about contamination?” Well you’re in luck! Breastmilk is sterile and an anti-bacterial.
I’ve only found out about this a month ago. And I do plan on trying at least some of these remedies…. To those reading, please let me know if this is something that you consider trying, have tried, or wont try.
If nothing else, I hope this was at least an interesting read.
